I never used it either, but I appreciated getting it. If they’d done something a bit rarer or made it shiny it would have been more handy. In all fairness though, if they’d given away something rare, people would have complained about missing the chance to get it, and they couldn’t have supplied something outside the regional dex or people wouldn’t be able to use it before completing the main story.

Another reason I liked the ORAS demo was seeing the player models before the game was fully released. They always look better in game than in screenshots on the internet.

Probably because teru-sama didn’t do anything, but that’s the main reason it’s so apt XD

I didn’t find the free glalie particularly useful as it just gave me a duplicate stone, but the pokeballs and especially the heartscales came in handy. I hardly think the free stuff justifies the need for a demo IMO, but I would absolutely love your hackbait scenario. People always go on about missigno, but teru-sama never gets any love!

Last time we got a free Glalie with mega stone among other items.
Demos that come with free pokemon and items are alright in my book.

The easiest way to prevent people hacking in is to overwrite the pokedex entry of every pokemon and item that don’t appear with Missingno and Teru-sama. Then the joke is on the hackers 😀

The simple solution is to seriously reduce the data contained in the demo.
Replace the pokedex entry of every pokemon that doesn’t appear in the demo with Missingno XD

Based on that explanation they should have given both a 1 week/5 day ban as a warning and kept an eye on them. Assuming it was only the two people.

Highly doubtful.

Then that seems like reaching.

I could think of one… (British)
